Supreme Court Directs Jana Nayagan Producers to Madras High Court in Certification Dispute

The Supreme Court on January 15 declined to intervene in the certification dispute over Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan, directing the producers to approach the Madras High Court's division bench. The film's release, initially set for January 9, was delayed after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) withheld clearance following a complaint about unaddressed objections. The Madras High Court had stayed a single judge's order to grant certification, and the division bench is scheduled to hear the matter on January 20.
